What does the underlined word mean in the expression; ... 'in the quavering light' ?
Answer: B
'Quavering' here means fluctuating.
To quaver is to tremble or waver. The light comes from a kerosene lamp, whose flame flickers, so the quavering light is light that keeps changing in brightness, which is to fluctuate.
'Moving' is too general and describes motion in space, not a change in brightness. 'Running' and 'hanging' do not describe how a flame behaves.
